Three Levels of Stump Grinding, Brookline, NH

What to do with the left over tree stump

So you've hired Souhegan Valley Tree Service to remove your trees. Now you would like to do something about the remaining stumps. Stump grinding really puts the final touches on your tree job. With the grinding complete you will not have to watch stumps decay for the following years.

When our customers are interested in stump grinding, we offer three different options to choose from.

• Grind all the stumps and leave all the shavings in a pile where they are.
• Grind all the stumps and cleanup the stump shavings.
• Finally, we offer the service of spreading loam after the cleanup is done.

These choices come at three different price points. With all three options the stumps will be ground four to eight inches below ground level.

If you're looking for the most affordable option when it comes to stump removal, Souhegan Valley Tree Service can grind your stumps and leave the cleanup for the homeowner to take care of. This is a great plan for our customers who are trying save the most money. The stump shavings take time for us to pick up and to haul away. Stump grinding chips make an excellent clean fill if you are looking to expand your yard or they can be pushed back into the hole created from grinding. With most of the companies in Southern NH, this is what you will get.

In our second option, we offer stump shaving removal. This will give your property a much cleaner look. Souhegan Valley Tree Service will level out the stump holes with some of the grindings. We will load the remaining shavings onto a truck and haul them away for you. This is our most popular service. We utilize our mini articulating loader with lawn protecting turf tires to carry large quantities of stump chips. Using the loader is the most time effective method for completing the work and no other local companies are using this method. If it is not possible for equipment to do the work, we can take care of the cleanup the old fashioned way, by hand, with rakes and shovels. This method leaves the homeowner with nothing to do but decide how to landscape where the tree was. The only downside is the modest charge for this service.

Option three includes all aspects of options one and two plus, delivery and application of screened loam. If you are interested in growing grass in the area where your stumps are located this may be the best choice for you. When you choose this option the only step remaining to making that tree disappear forever is choosing the grass seed that will suit your needs most. The price you pay for this service includes all labor, tools, and materials except for the seed.

The stump job we most recently completed in Brookline, NH, was done using option two. Most of the trees we removed were not near the lawn. They were on the edge of woods. This is a great option if your trees are in this area of your property. We hauled all the excess shavings away, leveled the stump holes, and gave the site a final touch-up with a backpack blower. At the completion of the job, the customer commented on three different things. 1. How hard all members of our team worked to get the job done in a timely matter. 2. How safely we completed all of our tasks. 3. How much better the property looked with the ten trees removed and the stumps ground out and cleaned up neatly. These are exactly the type of comments we strive for on every job site.

Choosing the level of service is 100% up to the customer. Souhegan Valley Tree Service will give all customers a reasonable quote for any or all of the options during your tree removal estimate. It really boils down to if you want to spend your time off from work dealing with stump grindings, or if you'd like the professionals from SVT to take care of it for you. If you happen to have gone with another company to handle your tree work we can still be happy to help you with the grinding as well.
